if you really think about it, if you get the wheel locks from a local parts store for cheap, why cant the thief buy the same kit and get the wheel lock key. i would find a set off the internet that is not sold locally
McGard claims their wheel locks are all unique and only the specific key machined for your set of wheel locks will unlock them.

Maybe you could run a live wire to some metal on them that has to be touched to get it off (make something), then the thefts will cease.

if the caps are silver or chrome colored you could always get some silver anti-seize compound and apply a real thin layer of it to the caps. this stuff is super slippery and they couldn't get a grip on them to pull them off plus it will get all over their hands making a mess of them and their clothes when they go to wipe it off! some clear petroleum jelly would do the same thing but it wouldn't be as much fun as the anti-seize would. some guys at work use to use this stuff on the silver doorknobs to someone's office and it really pisses you off when you grab hold of the **** and get that shlt all over your hand! LOL
